The Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy[1] is a domestic Twenty20 cricket championship in India, organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), among the teams from the Ranji Trophy. It is named after the famous Indian test cricketer, Syed Mushtaq Ali. The 2006-2007 inaugural season of this trophy was won by Tamil Nadu under the captaincy of Dinesh Karthik.
Rohit Sharma scored the first T20 century by an Indian, which is in the first edition of SMAT trophy. In June 2016, the BCCI announced that the championship would be scrapped and replaced with a zonal-based competition.[2] The very next season, the BCCI reverted to include all the domestic teams.
History[]
The BCCI launched its own state structure in 2006-07 season with 27 Ranji teams divided in five Zones with the name of Inter-State T20 Championship which was renamed and relaunched as the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Rohit Sharma scored the first T20 century by an Indian Which is in the first edition of SMAT trophy while chasing a target of 140+ vs Gujarat he scored for Mumbai in the very 2nd match while he scored 40+ notout in first match. The winners and runners-up of each Zone qualify for the knockout stage. In the 2012-13 season, the knockout stage was replaced with a Super League where Zonal winners and runners-up are divided into two groups and the winner of each group played the final. In 2015-16 season, the teams didn't compete on Zonal basis, and were drawn into four groups, unlike the previous seasons. In the 2016-17 season, Combined Zonal teams played the super league instead of Zonal winners.
After 9 new teams were included into the domestic structure in the 2018-19 season, the zonal system was abolished and teams are drawn into five groups with group winners and runners up qualifying for the Super League. The 10 teams are divided into two groups and the Super League group winners play the Final.
The 2021 season of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy is began on 20 October 2021, with the final to be played on 12 November 2021.[3] Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy 2021 final will be played between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
